NOTE:
As the degree of cooking depends on several factors, it
is advisable in the case of large (egg sizes L and XL) or
cold eggs to use slightly more water. If the eggs are too
hard, please pour slightly less water than stated in the
cooking bowl, or slightly more if the eggs are too soft.

Cleaning and Storage
• The decalcification intervals depend on the hardness of
the water and the frequency of use.
• If the appliance switches off before the water boils, it prob-
ably needs to be decalcified.
• Do not use vinegar, but a normal citric acid-based decalci-
fier. Follow the manufacturers' instructions!
WARNING: Risk of scalding!
Open the lid using the handle in such a way that steam
can escape to the back.
